Default Holes in the yard

oh, oh. Am getting golfball sized holes in the yard. Mostly the grass,
and some in the potted plants. It doesn't look like tunnels, as far as
I can tell. There are more and more everyday. What is it? Voles,
gophers, or something and what are they looking for and what should I
do?

eek!


In my yard, when I get small dug-out holes in sod areas, it invariably
turns out to be skunks digging for grubs. I've not found a way to combat
them safely, they having chemical warfare capability on their side.
